Solaris[TM] Live Upgrade Software: Patch Requirements



Description

This document lists the sets of patches needed to ensure correct functioning of Solaris Live Upgrade software.


Description

This document lists the sets of patches needed to ensure correct functioning of Solaris Live Upgrade software.

Distinct lists of patches are provided for each Solaris Named Release (i.e. Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, Solaris 8, Solaris 9, and Solaris 10), where each list is applicable to all Solaris Updates within a Solaris Named Release. For example, the patch lists for Solaris 10 are applicable to Solaris 10 3/05 (FCS), Solaris 10 1/06 (Update 1), Solaris 10 6/06 (Update 2), etc. Many of the patches in these patch lists will already be applied to systems which are running later Solaris Updates as can be seen by running 'patchadd -p' on the target system.

It is recommended to apply the listed patches before using Live Upgrade to manage the boot environments of a system or apply patches to a system. The patch lists to provide Live Upgrade functionality on Solaris 10 systems with non-global zones specify a number of kernel patches. If these patches are applied to an active boot environment of a system running Solaris 10 8/07 (Update 4) or an earlier Solaris 10 Update, then depending on the current patch level of the system, it may be necessary to perform multiple reboots to apply all of the patches listed. If dealing with such a system, please refer to the section below describing the Solaris 10 Live Upgrade Zones Starter Patch Bundle which eases the management of this process.

A discussion of how to use Live Upgrade to create and manage boot environments is outside the scope of this document. For information on how to use Live Upgrade, please refer to the documents available here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1236.9

There are two main sections to this document:

  1. Attaining the software level necessary to use Live Upgrade to upgrade a system. The Live Upgrade software from the release to which the system is being upgraded is installed on the active boot environment prior to upgrading. This ensures that Live Upgrade is able to handle all the functionality for the release to which the system is being upgraded, such as new compression technology introduced in Solaris 10.

  2. Live Upgrade can also be used to manage or patch the boot environments of a system. This section details the patches which need to be installed in order to utilize all available Live Upgrade functionality.


Changes to Solaris x86 GRUB.

NOTE: This section only applies to x86, if your system is SPARC based, then you can skip this section.

As of Solaris 10/08 ( Update 6 ) for x86, the GRUB model has changed. For Solaris 10/08 and later Solaris 10 Updates, Live Upgrade maintains multiple redundant GRUB menus, one for each Boot Environment (BE). Prior to Solaris 10/08, there was only one system wide GRUB menu maintained for all BE's.

If Live Upgrade patches from post Solaris 10/08 are applied to a system that is running a Solaris 10 Update prior to 10/08, then when a BE is created using lucreate and a subsequent Live Upgrade operation is run ( i.e. luactivate, luupgrade, etc), you will be prompted to run:

# /usr/lib/lu/lux86menu_propagate /path/to/new/Solaris/install/image OR /path/to/LiveUpgrade/patch

As this tool is upgrading GRUB in all the available BE's, you will have to either

  1. Provide the path to a Solaris x86 image for Solaris 10/08 or a later Solaris 10 Update.

  2. Apply the GRUB patch and then run /usr/lib/lu/lux86menu_propagate providing the path to the Live Upgrade patch.

    The above command will also need to be run if a system had existing BE's prior to applying a Live Upgrade patch from post 10/08.

If the GRUB patch is all ready installed along with latest Live Upgrade patch, prior to creating any BE's, then you will not be prompted to run lux86menu_propagate. It is only when the latest Live Upgrade patch is installed and a BE is created without having the latest GRUB patch installed, or one or more BE's all ready existed prior to applying latest Live Upgrade and GRUB patch, that you will be prompted to run lux86menu_propagate.

The GRUB patch for x86 is 138884-01 or higher.

The first Live Upgrade patch that utilizes the new GRUB aware model is 121431-30.



Steps to Follow

This section describes the software level necessary to use Live Upgrade to upgrade a system.



206844 statement detail
This section describes the software level necessary to use Live Upgrade to upgrade a system.

1. Using Live Upgrade to upgrade a system


Upgrading Solaris 8 to Solaris 10

    1) Install the Live Upgrade packages from media for Solaris 10 8/07 or a later Solaris 10 update :

    # <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Tools/Installers/liveupgrade20

    Or if scripting, you can use:

    # <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Tools/Installers/liveupgrade20 -nodisplay -noconsole

    Alternatively this can be done manually :

    # pkgrm SUNWlur SUNWluu
    # cd <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Product
    # pkgadd -d . SUNWlucfg SUNWlur SUNWluu
    Apply the latest Solaris 10 Live Upgrade patches:
    121430-29 or higher ( SPARC )
    121431-30 or higher ( x86 )

    2) If SDS ( Solstice DiskSuite ) is being used to mirror the root file system, it is critical that the latest Live Upgrade patches listed in step 1 are applied.

    3) After updating the Solaris Live Upgrade packages, you must patch your system with the patches listed below. Choose the Solaris 8 patch list below, appropriate to the system architecture.

    4) If Upgrading Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 5/08 or later on SPARC, then you need to also install p7zip utility, as the default compression technology has changed from bzip2 to p7zip. Please read the following instructions on how to add p7zip support to Solaris 8: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-250526-1

    It is not possible to do the same on x86 architecture as p7zip is not available on Solaris 8 x86. So for Solaris 8 on x86 you will need to upgrade twice. Firstly from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9 and then from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 5/08 or higher. Description of the latter process can be found in the article “Restrictions for Using Solaris Live Upgrade” published on Big Admin, http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/live_upgrade_patch.jsp?cid=e6760

Upgrading Solaris 8 to a later Solaris 8 update or to Solaris 9

    1) Install the Live Upgrade packages from media for the latest Solaris 8 Update (Solaris 8 2/04) if upgrading to Solaris 8, or from the latest Solaris 9 Update (Solaris 9 9/05) if upgrading to Solaris 9 :

    # <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Tools/Installers/liveupgrade20

    Or if scripting, you can use:

    # <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Tools/Installers/liveupgrade20 -nodisplay -noconsole
    Alternatively this can be done manually :
    # pkgrm SUNWlur SUNWluu
    # cd <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Product
    # pkgadd -d . SUNWlur SUNWluu

    2) After updating the Solaris Live Upgrade packages, you must patch your system with the patches listed below. Choose the Solaris 8 patch list below, appropriate to the system architecture.

Upgrading Solaris 9 to Solaris 10


1) Install the Live Upgrade packages from media for Solaris 10 8/07 or a later Solaris 10 update :

# <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Tools/Installers/liveupgrade20

Or if scripting, you can use:

# <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Tools/Installers/liveupgrade20 -nodisplay -noconsole

Alternatively this can be done manually :

# pkgrm SUNWlur SUNWluu
# cd <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Product
# pkgadd -d . SUNWlucfg SUNWlur SUNWluu

2) If SVM ( Solaris Volume Manager ) is being used to mirror the root file system, after following step 1 above, you need to apply the latest Solaris 10 Live Upgrade patches.
121430-29 or higher ( SPARC )
121431-30 or higher ( x86 )

3) After updating the Solaris Live Upgrade packages, you must patch your system with the patches listed below. Choose the Solaris 9 patch list below, appropriate to the system architecture.

Upgrading Solaris 9 to a later Solaris 9 update

1) Install the Live Upgrade packages from media for the latest Solaris 9 update :

# <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Tools/Installers/liveupgrade20

Or if scripting, you can use:

# <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Tools/Installers/liveupgrade20 -nodisplay -noconsole

Alternatively this can be done manually :

# pkgrm SUNWlur SUNWluu
# cd <cdrom>/<Solaris_version>/Product
# pkgadd -d . SUNWlur SUNWluu

2) After updating the Solaris Live Upgrade packages, you must patch your system with the patches listed below. Choose the Solaris 9 patch list below, appropriate to the system architecture.

Upgrading Solaris 10 to a later Solaris 10 update


For upgrading Solaris 10 to a later Solaris 10 update release, there are 2 separate scenarios that apply depending on the Solaris Update release level of the system being upgraded and the Solaris Update release that is being upgraded to.

1) Bring the Live Upgrade packages up to required level.

a) If the system being upgraded is installed with Solaris 10 11/06 or an earlier Solaris 10 update then add SUNWlucfg package from Solaris 10 08/07 media or from any Solaris 10 Update release media subsequent to 08/07:
# pkgadd SUNWlucfg

Then add the latest Live Upgrade patch available on SunSolve:
121430 ( SPARC )
121431 ( x86 )

b) If the system being upgraded is installed with Solaris 10 08/07 or a later Solaris 10 update, then just add the latest Live upgrade patch from SunSolve for your architecture:
121430 ( SPARC )
121431 ( x86 )

2) After updating the Solaris Live Upgrade packages, you must patch your system with the patches listed below. Choose the Solaris 10 patch list below, appropriate to the system architecture. If the system has non-global zones, then the patches listed in the non-global-zones section must also be applied.

Upgrading Solaris release prior to Solaris 8

  1. Live Upgrade man pages might be missing or inaccurate under the following circumstances:

    * If you are running a version of Solaris before the Solaris 8 release.
    These releases did not contain Live Upgrade packages.

    * If you have early versions of Live Upgrade packages on your system.

    Therefore, under the above circumstances, you will need to check the online man pages or documentation at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1236.9 . Be sure to match the version of Solaris on the documents to the version of Solaris media that you used to load the Live Upgrade packages. Matching versions provides the correct set of supported features or options.


    2) This guide shows Solaris Live Upgrade patches back to Solaris 2.6.
    However if the objective is to upgrade to Solaris 10, the maximum jump is 2 releases.
    You would have to first upgrade from Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 8, then Solaris 8 to Solaris 10.



This section details the patches which need to be installed in order to utilize all available Live Upgrade functionality.



2. Using Live Upgrade to manage or patch the boot environments of a system

Management of boot environments using Live Upgrade refers to activities like boot environment creation (in the case where we are simply using Live Upgrade to manage multiple boot environments, as opposed to using Live Upgrade to actually upgrade the boot environments) or patching using 'luupgrade -t'. These activities are distinct from upgrade of a system using Live Upgrade (which is discussed in Section 1 above).


It is recommended to use Live Upgrade packages from the same Solaris Named Release that a system is installed with, when Live Upgrade is only being used for the management of boot environments on the system. For example, if using Live Upgrade to manage boot environments on Solaris 8 or Solaris 9, then ensure the latest respective Live Upgrade packages available for Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 are installed. For management of boot environments, it should not be necessary, and therefore is not recommended, to use Live Upgrade packages from a later Solaris Named Release (e.g. Solaris 10).


Solaris 10 Live Upgrade Zones Starter Patch Bundle

The Solaris 10 Live Upgrade Zones Starter Patch Bundle is a collection of patches with an install script which is available from the SunSolve Patch Cluster and Patch Bundle download page, http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patches/patch-access , and is provided specifically for use on systems with non-global zones that are running Solaris 10 8/07 (Update 4) or an earlier Solaris 10 Update. For further information, see the patch bundle README file available on the same download page.


Patching such a system up to the level where Live Upgrade has support for zones on UFS filesystems can involve applying a number of kernel patches to the active boot environment and require multiple sequential patching and reboot cycles. The patch bundle is provided specifically as a convenient means for simplifying this patching process.

Systems running Solaris 10 5/08 (Update 5) or a later Solaris 10 Update already deliver Live Upgrade software with support for zones on UFS filesystems. These systems are at an equivalent or higher patch level than the majority of the patches provided by the starter patch bundle, so there is little or no benefit derived from installing the starter patch bundle on these systems. Instead, the additional patches that need to be applied to these systems are specified on the Solaris 10 patch lists below in this document.


It is important to make clear the distinction between the Live Upgrade Zones Starter Patch Bundle, and the patch list in this document that is associated with enabling use of Live Upgrade on Solaris 10 systems with non-global zones:

The patch bundle contains only the minimum set of patches needed to provide Live Upgrade with support for zones on UFS filesystems. It's primary use is simplify the task of patching early Solaris 10 Updates with the necessary multiple Kernel Patches and associated system reboots. When the patch bundle is installed to a system with zones on UFS filesystems running Solaris 10 8/07 (Update 4) or an earlier Solaris 10 Update, the level of functionality provided is sufficient to enable use of Live Upgrade on these systems without the need to apply further patches to the active boot environment.


That is, once this minimal Live Upgrade patch level is achieved, Live Upgrade itself can be used to duplicate the active boot environment, and patch the duplicated boot environment - e.g. with the patches listed below - as a way of bootstrapping a system to a higher patch level - e.g. in preparation of a migration to ZFS root.


This minimal Live Upgrade functionality for Zones on UFS is contained in a fixed set of patches, which means for the most part that the Live Upgrade Zones Starter Patch Bundle content is static and is not updated when higher revisions of patches are released. It is important to note the starter patch bundle does not provide Live Upgrade with support for features introduced with Solaris 10 5/08 (Update 5) or later Solaris 10 Updates, such as ZFS boot, zones on ZFS, or SPARC Newboot (which included findroot enabled grub, and which is supported by later Live Upgrade patches).


The Solaris 10 Live Upgrade Zones Starter Patch Bundle brings a system running non-global zones, up to a sufficient patch level that enables a user to now decide based on their requirements and resources, whether to create a new boot environment and patch that boot environment using Live Upgrade utilities, or continue on applying the patches listed in this document to the live boot environment. By creating and patching a duplicated boot environment to a higher patch level, the advantages of Live Upgrade can be leveraged to reduce the risk and downtime associated with applying these additional patches.

In contrast, the patches listed in this document specifies the patches required to ensure Live Upgrade software has the most up to date bug fixes, and Live Upgrade support for all the latest features of Solaris 10, such as ZFS boot, zones on ZFS, and SPARC Newboot. The patch lists in this document are dynamic, and are updated when new patches are released that contain bug fixes or new feature support for Live Upgrade. The patch lists do not necessarily include all the patches necessary to obtain the full functionality for the specific features which Live Upgrade can support, e.g. it does not necessarily include all the ZFS patches necessary to migrate to a ZFS root environment, but it does include all the patches required to bring Live Upgrade up to its latest functional level to support a migration to ZFS using Live Upgrade.


So to reiterate, this document contains the list of patches to apply to a system, in order to avail of the latest Live Upgrade feature support such as support for migration to ZFS boot, zones on ZFS and SPARC Newboot, whereas the Solaris 10 Live Upgrade Zones Starter Patch Bundle is basically a minimal subset of the patches listed in this document for Solaris 10 which is required to provide basic Live Upgrade functionality in a Zones on UFS environment.


Solaris zones ( containers ) on ZFS file systems.

The latest Live Upgrade patches for Solaris 10, now support zones on ZFS filesystems. Patch 121430-36 for SPARC and 121431-37 for x86 both provide support for zones on ZFS, with one exception, namely where the root file system is ZFS based, and the zone path resides at the top of the UFS mount point. This issue will most likely be resolved in a later Live Upgrade patch. The relevant CR is 6759266.

Additional documentation:


For a step by step guide to familiarizing yourself with Solaris Live Upgrade, see Solaris How To Guide, Upgrading and Patching with Live Upgrade at http://www.sun.com/solaris/howto.


For information about enterprise patching issues using Solaris Live Upgrade, see the Sun Blueprint Patching Mirrored Systems with the Solaris Live Upgrade Software [2]http://www.sun.com/blueprints


Currently in Solaris 10, due to CR 6759266, it is not possible to use Live Upgrade tools if there are non-global zones on the system and any of these non-global zones have zonepaths that reside at the top of a UFS mountpoint. An example is where zonepath is set to /zone1 and /zone1 is the mountpoint for a UFS filesystem.
